Need to configure audit logging in Solaris but I have a problem. There are two SunOS servers which were configured before. When I started analysing logs I found out that in Solaris 10 I can see the name of user who login/logout but in Solaris 11 not. Solaris 10 audit event example:

May 13 10:58:46 server audit: [ID 702911 audit.notice] login - ssh ok session 1722469439 by username as username:group from pc1.my.domain
May 13 10:59:10 server audit: [ID 702911 audit.notice] logout ok session 1722469439 by username as username:group from pc1.my.domain

Solaris 11 example for the same user:

May 13 10:59:53 server audit: [ID 702911 audit.notice] login - ssh ok in global
May 13 11:00:13 server audit: [ID 702911 audit.notice] logout ok in global

Reading Solaris 11 audit concepts pages didn't give me an answer. In both cases /etc/security/audit_event files look the same. I've only checked out that they contain:

6152:AUE_login:login - local:lo
6153:AUE_logout:logout:lo

Could someone please give me an advice what else needs to be checked?

I have a strange boot issue on a Sun T5220 SPARC server with Solaris 10.

The last few changes I did on this server, for maintenance purposes were:

  • to delete some old directories (definitely not anything system-related, just some directories that I’m sure they are containing unused files) to free up some space
  • to install the library libiconv.1.14 for Solaris10 SPARC64
  • to install the patch 153074-01, to patch a known SSH-related vulnerability. Unfortunately, I forgot to boot in single-user mode before installing it.

Then, I rebooted the server from ILOM (I logged on in the console by start /SP/console and issued reboot). In the console, all I can see are the following lines printed again and again:

Boot device: /pci@0/pci@0/pci@2/scsi@0/disk@0,0:a  File and args: kernel/sparcv9/unix
SunOS Release 5.10 Version Generic_150400-59 64-bit

Hostname: unknown
The / file system (/dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0) is being checked.

so, the server cannot boot the OS. How can I troubleshoot this situation?

A customer of mine is still using Solaris 8, now I have a product which requires testing against this OS, however looking at Oracle, they merely provide 10 and 11. Is it possible to find Solaris 8 for download (x86) still? Or is it a lost cause?

I'm on an OpenSolaris 5.11 server and when I asked about Django, technical support offered to use pkgin as a package manager.

[root@gpx8nnaa ~]# uname -a
SunOS gpx8nnaa.joyent.us 5.11 snv_89 i86pc i386 i86pc
[root@gpx8nnaa ~]# find / -name pkgin
[root@gpx8nnaa ~]#

This computer does not appear to have pkgin installed. How can I install a preferred package manager on this server?
